Navy Cross Awarded…

Outstanding. That’s all that really needs to be said. This young Marine certainly deserves the award. Read it all:

Battle-injured Afghanistan Veteran Receives Navy Cross

Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center, Twentynine Palms, CA – (04/02/09)

“Sorry, guys, I can’t keep going.”

Those were the words of Lance Cpl. Brady A. Gustafson to the Marines in his vehicle as he was pulled away from his smoking machine gun minutes after his platoon was ambushed July 21, 2008, by withering enemy fire in Shewan, Afghanistan.

Nobody blamed Gustafson, 21, an infantryman with 2nd Platoon, Company G, 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, for not being able to continue the fight, since the opening volley on the Marine mounted patrol included a rocket-propelled grenade that pierced the shell of the mine-resistant armor-protected vehicle in which Gustafson was manning the turret gun.

That RPG severed Gustafson’s right leg, and yet he had the presence of mind to locate the enemy positions and place well-aimed machine gun fire on them, providing cover fire for the Marines in his platoon.

Good Shootin’

In the news? Not bloody likely. Doesn’t fit the anti-gun narrative of the left. It fits the bill for another reason to carry though. This young man that intervened possibly saved quite a few lives and definitely stopped a douche-bag from raping some women. Good job.

College Student Shoots, Kills Home Invader

COLLEGE PARK, Ga. — A group of college students said they are lucky to be alive and they’re thanking the quick-thinking of one of their own. Police said a fellow student shot and killed one of two masked me who burst into an apartment.

Channel 2 Action News reporter Tom Jones met with one of the students to talk about the incident.

“Apparently, his intent was to rape and murder us all,” said student Charles Bailey.

We Need Term Limits to Save America…

I believe in term limits. I think it would prevent, at least half of the problems that we currently have with Congress. Cronyism would fade to a bad memory if it were enacted. Politics in America would actually be “of the people, by the people, and for the people” as Lincoln espoused.

Arlen Specter and the Case for Term Limits
By Paul Miller

President James Madison, considered by many to be the “Father of the Constitution” and author of over a third of the Federalist Papers, wrote that legislators should be “called for the most part from pursuits of a private nature and continued in appointment for a short period of office.” President Abraham Lincoln stated during the Gettysburg Address “that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”  No honest person would argue that both these presidents were not only brilliant statesman, but also possessed an intellect rarely matched. They would also agree that both men believed wholeheartedly in the importance of a citizen legislature.

And here’s another tale of follow the donkey, er, follow the money…

Gullible America
By Alicia Colon

As the gullible of the world start to relax after being told that the swine flu may not become a pandemic, the rest of us marvel at the breadth of their naïveté.  One would think they’d recall the similar hysteria in 2002 over SARS. The same so-called clinical experts were intimating that it would be disaster like the 1918 flu epidemic that took 40 million lives. That fear campaign fizzled out eventually and there were no deaths in the U.S.

Nevertheless, the world continues to swallow the global warming, end of the world scenario, but never bothers to wonder who’s profiteering from all these scare reports.

See Though the BS…

It doesn’t take much to see through Obama and his cronies. Here’s an easy one:

Obama Team: Yes to Interrogation Memos, No to ‘Flyover’ Pictures

Barack Obama and his team in Washington sure have a strange way of promoting full disclosure, openness, and transparency in government. Give them an opportunity to trash the previous administration and those who worked for our national security, and they are all for it. But, ask them to come forward with pictures and a full explanation of a so-called public relations assignment, and they clam up.

In a pathetic display of both arrogance and indifference to America’s safety and peace of mind, we see in two events everything we need to know about Obama. Just look at how differently he and his team handled the release of CIA interrogation memos and how they are handling the non-release of photos taken during their flyover photo op in New York City.

Culture of Corruption on the other Foot…

Posted: 6 May 2009 in Axis of Idiots, Congress, Lies, Politics, Socialism, Stupid People

Democrats played a good hand with the culture of corruption. One issue though, they were just as culpable in the corruption as the Republicans.

Democrats wallow in a ‘culture of corruption’
Meet the new political bosses, worse than the old political bosses.

Jonah Goldberg
May 5, 2009

» Discuss Article Some days you have to ask yourself, my God, what if these people were Republicans?

Democrats took back Congress in 2006 and the presidency in 2008 in no small part because of their ability to bang their spoons on their high chairs about what they called the Republican “culture of corruption.” Their choreographed outrage was coordinated with the precision of a North Korean missile launch pageant. And, to be fair, they had a point. The GOP did have its legitimate embarrassments. California Rep. Randy “Duke” Cunningham and lobbyist Jack Abramoff were fair game, and so was Rep. Mark Foley, the twisted Florida congressman who allegedly wanted male congressional pages cleaned and perfumed and brought to his tent, as it were.

Douche Murtha

I keep saying: “When will Pennsylvanians learn?” I often say the same about Californians, so I guess there is no hope if we keep electing these morons. We have no one else to blame, but ourselves.

Murtha’s Nephew Got Defense Contracts
Millions in Work Came Without Competition

By Carol D. Leonnig and Alice Crites

The headquarters of Murtech, in a low-slung, bland building in a Glen Burnie business park, has its blinds drawn tight and few signs of life. On several days of visits, a handful of cars sit in the parking lot, and no trucks arrive at the 10 loading bays at the back of the building.

Yet last year, Murtech received $4 million in Pentagon work, all of it without competition, for a variety of warehousing and engineering services. With its long corridor of sparsely occupied offices and an unmanned reception area, Murtech’s most striking feature is its owner — Robert C. Murtha Jr., 49. He is the nephew of  Rep. John P. Murtha, the Pennsylvania Democrat who has significant sway over the Defense Department’s spending as chairman of the House Appropriations defense sub

Media Hysteria

Posted: 6 May 2009 in Axis of Idiots, Media, Politics, Stupid People

Lately, whenever I hear the media getting all pissy about some issue, or other, I tend to ignore their hysteria. My own common sense has told me that their sensationalism is a mere ploy for ratings, an agenda, or both. I think the media is despicable in their conduct. The sensationalism sells, and it also proves to be nothing in the long run. Global warming is one of those alarmist issues that the media perpetuates daily, even in the face of overwhelming proof against its cause and effect. Just keep beating your heads on the wall. Eventually, you might have an epiphany of sorts and finally figure out that you have squandered billions of dollars on a phantom that was made up by your cohorts and a media that was happy to tag along and often push the agenda.

Hyping hysteria
By Michael J. Economides

The alliance between politicians, their supporters with agendas and the news media is an unholy union, one that does not need elaborate conspiracies to consummate. Hysteria and alarmism in the news is a business-driven matrimony and, in spite of proclamations of safeguarding the public’s right to know, it has little to do with knowing the truth.

For us westerners our press was supposed to be one of the main institutions that separated us from the rest of the world, made us be smug about the superiority of our political system. It was supposed to be different from totalitarian regimes where the press expresses no opinions other than the party line. Our newspapers and TV were supposed to be unbiased and objective.

Psychotherapy for Liberals

Posted: 6 May 2009 in Axis of Idiots, Comarade Obama, Politics, Socialism, Stupid People, Truth

Yeah. They’ll keep beating their heads against the walls and refuse to listen to facts until it really hurts. Maybe then, they might just come to their senses. One can hope. I haven’t given up on America yet. Hopefully, some of the more moderate liberals will come to their senses, sooner, rather than later. If not, well, I guess it will be a bloody end to America. I am sure that the people in America that believe in freedom over the tyranny that Obama is driving us towards will come out in force, if he goes too far.

Just saying…

Psychotherapy for liberals
By James Lewis

Talking with liberals is frustrating, because you can’t just talk about facts.  That will only get them all upset, and all they will get out of the experience is never to listen to people like you. Most liberals live in their heads, or in little fluffy white clouds floating right above their scalps and resist efforts to engage them in rational conversation.

Our media are perfect examples. They never learn. They never listen to any other points of view. They know they have nothing to learn. Intellectually they are stuck, stuck, stuck.
